JCP&L's online power map, at outages.firstenergycorp.com/nj.html, showed light outages throughout much of northern New Jersey Friday morning.

Though fierce storms left tens of thousands of people without power Thursday night, service to almost all homes in Morris County had been restored by Friday morning.

There were still pockets without power approaching 9 a.m. Friday. JCP&L's online power map showed 99 people without power in Randolph and 15 people without power in Washington Township. Outages of 5 people or less were reported in Mount Olive and Denville.

Small outages remained in many towns west and south of Morris County as well.

At the height of the storms, as many as 30,000 people were without power statewide. JCP&L said it expected to have service to most customers restored by
the end of the day Friday. It said customers who had not yet reported
outages should call
1-888-544-4877.

The Star-Ledger reported three people were injured, one seriously,
when a tree crashed through a home on Lakeshore Drive in Rockaway Township Thursday. One
person was taken to the Morristown Medical Center's Trauma Center,
while three other victims were transported to St. Clare's Hospital in
Denville. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known.

A hazardous weather outlook remained in effect Friday, with the National Weather Service warning heat index values could reach between 95 and 100 degrees. Strong to severe thunderstorms were possible again.
